    Description
    This course focuses on the role of observation to support children's growth and development in early childhood programs. Various observation methods are used to complete assessments (including an individual child's DRDP-R and a classroom assessment), create individual children's learning plans, develop a classroom improvement plan and provide written family feedback. Appropriate use of assessments and rating systems, the value of portfolios and children's authentic work samples, successful observation strategies, observing learning through play, working in partnership with families, supporting children with special needs, supporting a child's culture and home language, and confidentiality are values that underpin all discussions and class assignments.
